Yes sunscreen should be applied in winters also. If you are exposed to bright lights in indoors also you should apply sunscreen. Ideally sunscreen should be repeated every 2 hours.

Once or twice untill and unless you are going out and exposed to sun (on sunny days) also too much in front of TV ,Laptop screen , mobile can also lead to pigmentation (long term exposer) Sunscreen with blue light protection is a must in such condition for further details you can consult us online
